Removing your website's link to StarOfService

In order to remove your website's link to StarOfService or add a "nofollow" direction to the HTML in your badge, use the directions below:

Remove your website’s link to StarOfService

If you'd like to remove the link to StarOfService (but not the badge itself):

1. Login to your website’s content editor. You may need to click “Edit Website,” “Edit Content,” or a similar button. Note: this varies by website builder.

2. Find the page, sidebar, or footer that contains the link.

3. Edit the HTML to remove the link. You’ll be looking for code that looks like this (the exact wording may vary):

<a href=”http://www.StarOfService.com/”>Check out my business on StarOfService</a>

4. Delete everything between the first “<a” and the closing “</a>.”

5. Save and publish your page.

You'll be able to visit your page in a new browser tab to confirm that the link has been removed.

*Note: if the widget on your website contains multiple instances of "href=" you will need to delete each of these. Search for each occurrence by using CTRL + F (on Windows computers) or COMMAND + F (on Apple computers) and typing in "href."

Add a “Nofollow” your website’s link

If you'd like to keep your badge on your page, you can add a "nofollow" and your badge will still connect to your landing page. Follow these steps to do so:

1. Login to your website’s content editor. You may need to click “Edit Website,” “Edit Content,” or a similar button. Note: this varies by website builder.

2. Find the page, sidebar, footer, or other template that contains the link.

3. Edit the HTML on the link. You’ll be looking for code that looks like this:

<a href=”http://www.StarOfService.com/”>Check out my business on StarOfService</a>

4. Just before the ‘href’ keyword, you’ll want to add this code—be sure to add spaces before and after:

rel=”nofollow”

So the final link looks like this:

<a rel=”nofollow” href=”http://www.StarOfService.com”>Check out my business on StarOfService</a>

5. Save and publish your page.

Now, if you click on the badge, you should still be able to see your business on the landing page.

*Hint: You can search for the right place to add this by using CTRL + F (on Windows computers) or COMMAND + F (on Apple computers) and typing in "href."
